It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

The perturbation method is based on the small-parameter expansion of an unknown solution of the light scattering problem in a vicinity of the exact solution. ... The only probably exclusion is the case of anisotropic particles for which the rigid solution is either impossible or too complicated. For such problems the perturbation method can give information of the first approximation, which is important for understanding of the basic principles of influences of the material anisotropy. ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....
